There is a Ciroflex gallery, although the text isn't in English. He has other cameras, including a Leica M3 with 1.0 Noctolux(!) The Ciroflex photos on his site are of extremely high quality, and I have since purchased an old Ciroflex to try it out for myself.

Les,

I could supply you with just a few, but they are good.... Some dramtically lit shots of my father, Lamey's Diner at the Henry Ford Museum, by father's 1919 Model T Ford in East Toledo's Christmas parade a week ago, a climber at Planet Rock indoor climbing gym in Pontiac, MI.

They're scanned prints, very detailed. I've been shooting 35mm for over 20 years, and these are some of the best photos I've ever taken.

FWIW, I spend my time split between Luckey OH and Dearborn MI, so I'm not too far from you.

What year is the "T"? Every fourth of July or so a showroom fresh Model T with the top down and 4 to 6 passengers in era correct dress drive thur the parking lot where I work in Foster City, Ca. The "T" has only one brass tail light on the left.

_________________The best camera ever made is the one that YOU enjoy using and produces the image quality that satifies YOU.

The T is a 1919. Dad has two, a 1919 and a 1927. He's been putting about 10,000 miles a year on them, roughly. Has to base that on fuel consumption, as T's don't have speedometers or odometers. While I don't know how to drive one (it's not a stick and it's not an automatic exactly), I have ridden perhaps several thousand miles in them as well. It's a good experience, and about as close as we come to sharing an interest. He doesn't kayak or ride motorcycles or take pictures, but we do share an interest in mechanical things and nature, so he does appreciate the old camera and the kayak and the motorcycle and my own trips.

Lotta similarities between the T and my Ciro-Flex. In both cases, modern supporting products (oil, lubes, and film respectively) let those old products perform better than ever.

And in both cases, the T's and the CF's modern counterparts have electronic controls, but are otherwise not all that different in concept from current offerings. Four wheels, a roof and an engine... A black box you put film into, with a lens on the front. Not much has really changed - Shrug.

On the T, you manually adjust fuel mixture and spark timing (based on your knowledge of the situation), both duties done by electronics on modern cars.

On the Ciro-Flex, you adjust focus, shutter, and aperture based on your knowledge of the situation.

Both are a slower way of doing things than their modern counterparts, and that's not all bad.

Both require more of a relationship, more working knowledge, than their modern counterparts - again not a bad thing, for those who interface well with machinery.

I'm sort of a technical kind of guy, so I like that aspect. Though I do prefer a modern car (or motorcycle) on long trips, and I do shoot sometimes with my modern Nikon 35-SLR when that's the better tool for what I'm trying to get.
